i'm in munich and i want to get this. old feature as the bell tower for cities oldest parish church is called is known for its spectacular view but. 360 have said. that's kind of exhausting. it's worth the effort though.

up here the whole city is spread out before you. think that's the perfect view down there you can see that's where that's the town hall and right behind it the phone. munich is packed with cultural treasures that makes it a favorite destination for history and culture buffs from all over the world. today i want to find out what munich's got to offer for tourists who come here for education well what's on offer who uses these offers and where's the difference between an educational trip and a normal holiday well i'm looking for answers and you're coming along. well tag along with a group of americans as they tour munich. meet to

colombians to show us around. their hometown seatback iraq. and we get a tour off mexico's yucatan peninsula in this week's your video. first off to get an idea of what an educational trip is i mean one of the munich tourist board cuts. from what am i getting learning adventures usually start here right. yeah yes the standard ones do it's from here that munich evolved this is actually the intersection of the 2 districts and ling and. there were older than munich itself the cell to a pass through here and salt was sold by the marines euler mary's column. this is where the monks lived which is where munich got its name and this was the main market square when it got to be too small the market moved to the victim. and this

square survived because nobody was allowed to build on it we had no. right on magazine plots you'll find the door using a traditional restaurant popular with tourists and locals alike it serves all kinds of the various specialties from port knuckles to veal sausage and if you're lucky musical a compliment. we're ordering what's known as a bullet side victor typical for munich. what's here on the board feel think that. they've got a variety of the various specialties. here in the cheese corner we've got that all but stout a specialty consisting of come into and batter very rich by very tasty with red onions and we have various sausages here and that's pork lard with cracklings and dried onions this is an educational trip for me is sampling the local specialty

stay part of their cars. also i've been with presidents who clean are like a skull and their art is absolutely culture yes we have a lot of high culture orchestras 60 museums everything the heart desires in terms of classical and contemporary art. and then we're going to the broad spectrum of everyday culture there's beer and beer gardens eating and drinking and spending time together. all this makes it possible even for visitors to take part in the city's life and activities i'm leaving on time the stops time and you know what's the difference between a learning holiday and the regular one you don't have much of yourself you know it's why even in your horizons has a lot to do with getting to know his city's culture as if you were actually living here. you could learn how kings had their houses built on audience plots over the centuries for instance or contemplate the urban arts or watch people surf on the

ice bath and a bit all other and a bit insanity discovering that munich is so much more than beer and tasty food. things that munich has i can reduce to unfairly as much it wasn't off offered you dumb ass when trying to open up and say hey munich has a lot to offer a whole range of culture and learning opportunities work. against you but like the big. lift i don't want to reduce muni but i'd still like to just buy this is the little stuff. apparently educational trips to munich a very popular no matter what arts culture history or food but before we continue with our educational offerings here's a brief overview of what you should know about munich. munich is the capital of the state of those varia and lies in southern germany

within sight of the alps. about one and a half 1000000 people live here and over 8000000 tourists passing through the city annually. munich is probably best known for the world's largest beer festival the october fest. but visitors to the city will find much more than just typical bavarian kaleri treats. there are also many sides to see. for instance the franco here. the victor alley unmocked. and audience cuts. munich also has an impressive array of art venues. over 60 museums and galleries vie for attention here. i'm going to spend some time in one of those museums. because i want to learn about

the art in munich. a good 700 paintings by european artists from the 14th to the 18th centuries are exhibited here. and. i'm getting a private tour from hard historian. she'll be revealing some of the secrets of the idea who takes treasures. if not for the best let's have a look at this world famous self-portrait of. the of my members one or feel it is the self-portrait with fur trimmed robe why did i do a pinch himself in this pose a portion of the mind. via the fact that time artists were more or less unknown nameless and they were considered craftsman. and the way i do her represented himself here was something completely new oh yes that's actually new for the year 50100 that is this reprint ation of himself bears

a resemblance to christ for whom until that point frankly perspectives like this have been reserved. to be could you take a picture of me with conceded steger with the conceit to do that. the next painting is by far it depicts the famous battle of alexander officers in the year 333 b.c. . when he was because i'm after just a quick look at the painting can you point out alexander to me and he thinks that he's on that rick sure thing which is being pulled by 3 horses and if that guy birch about the others i'm guessing that's him. if you think so his rather prominent but interesting me that's actually darrius i picked the loser of the battle catalina glad on the surest me that it happens to a lot of museum visitors. and their counseling it's hard to overlook the quote hanging down from the tablets and if you follow the cord straight down it will lead

you to alexander sitting on a horse it's as if your eye is being directed to where you should look in the picture. next comes this huge painting the last judgment. is in of the scene now or in the 17th century the 30 years war this was the tallest work and it determines the proportions here if that's a clean it's really the most magnetic self-image here and if you have to take. the thing here you go to imagine how many people pose in front of it all with the last judgment of all things think. that's my cue. i'm not the only one learning something during my educational trip to munich so did a tour group from the us well they were not on their own but with colder that's

a nonprofit educational travel organization and we tagged along. on the main. guy john langton in showing a group of american travelers one of munich's most popular attractions the famous glockenspiel on the old town hall. but this is a very particular group of tourists. the diversity of people who come people who are on the whole well educated reflection of what happens in the case and the knowledge of. people but also people who are inquiring the new people who want to see something new and perhaps hear a different perspective. this group of knowledge hungry americans is on a weeklong tour of munich and a very organized by road scholar and. their spending an

entire day on the site in munich city center. this is a. rhodes scholar was founded with the intention of providing educational adventures for older age groups based on the idea of lifelong learning and it's a nonprofit organization so the revenues from these trips can fund other social projects and new programs as well on to. the next stop is the latest barrage. rhodes scholars program of the childless appear to have a special interest in educational travel. they include not just tourists but also talks by professor. and other experts. will be nice ancient office at the oval or thousands of benches in 150 countries. the group moves onto munich's poland kisha.

the main thing here is just to get the volume of the school the wanted to see what the court has. gone. but most of the participants appreciate the background knowledge and details they learn on the tour. are done other guided tours in germany this was a bit more thorough he's there for you got more background it's much better than sitting home reading about things just go places and it becomes interesting and touches you and then you go back and you can read or open my mind. for most of these 9 people seeing the dense was the highlights of the day. it's the former city pallets of the varian princes and kings. the group visits only a few special rooms such as the antiquarian but the explanations are comprehensive . carolyn anderson has done

a lot of educational travelling and in. 38 trips. yeah i like growth scholar. i've been many places. almost 8 alice the tour is nearing the end. but everyone in the group is still listening intently. and one should never underestimate travelers insurance and 1st for knowledge. when. learning about the history of a place is often the focus of an educational trip in germany the nazi period in particular has left its mark on many cities in the country and that includes munich . i want to know more about that so i've decided to spend some time at the munich documentation center for the history of national socialism near the curate exploits . historian walks me through the exhibition in how was munich important to the

nazis and not another to the winston of. munich was the center of the national socialism this is where the nazi party was founded. from here we have a photo from 1903 a few years after the party was found that it was the party leader by that and it was here that he gave them to write he became more and more popular here he's speaking to 1800 people in munich. be a whole. those beer halls which are still popular today offered hitler a forum and audience for his speeches. it's where he spoke to the masses and spread his racist and anti-semitic ideology. he didn't mention how does munich deal with all this today the fact that this is where it started and before that you do stuff in the meantime i mean it takes a very critical approach to this house is financed by the city of munich but the

fact that munich was the birthplace of the city that gave rise to the nazi party is a topic that wasn't talked about for a long time before. this documentation center has played a key role in breaking that silence it is situated on the very place where what was known as the brown house once stood that was the party headquarters in the 1930 s. an entire nazi administrative district was constructed in the area it $68.00 buildings and $6000.00 workers. to allow me to fully understand the scale of things shows me other places in the area which are also connected to the nazis sorites next door is the former fuel bowl which housed hitler's office and those of his staff today it houses the university of music and performing arts munich. we continue along b. and i started to what is now the by the sheer lightness but the very end state bank

. and there i think was when it does work with the fickle spark of originally stood on the spot. that was a small palace for the vital smart family. and then october 19th $33.00 it became the got start world headquarters. here the nazis planned the persecution of political opponents and jews. few steps away a memorial commemorates the victims of national socialism. our final stop is the spots it was the sight of many nazi spectacles of parades. and this is where i say goodbye to defeated.

now it's time for our weekly be made slot as you know you can send us your travel videos and we show him here and check in this time look for york has sent us a video of his educational trip to mexico he has visited the famous mayan ruins of chichen itza and i have to admit i really would have liked to come along. led. to.

this. kind. of. art history and culture i've already gotten to experience all those aspects of an education oriented holiday now i'd like to find out more about munich's traditions

and one that centuries old here involve spear brewing it and drinking it well everybody so it was nice to have you here. bring seminars our offer to regularly this one is being led by god do you wish to do them of the munich brew mafia. first we hear what beer is made of water pipes malt and east. it smells a bit rancid doesn't it. you know my ok now let's fill it up then we start grinding our multi we've got 3 kilos here and we need a strong muscular guy. that's me right. here so this is easy. the ground malt is then steeped in hot water it's a process known as smashing. the.

so beer you actually i wouldn't say so. it's a tart. and this is. after a while the mashing is done. then comes the lottery which means separating the liquid from the grain residue you we can give it a taste there's still no alcohol content at this point. was. as simple as it is this is the multi residue this. is the most i don't want or sweet. go ahead and try it. about one of them don't understand all the sweetness has been washed out. the next step would be to add hops to the liquid they give pierrots taste and then yeast is added for fermentation that makes beer an alcoholic beverage but it's

a long process so we only learn the theory but it would be a shame to go home without wetting our whistles so the seminar ends with a tasting of the many different varieties of beer made by the munich group. we can place pretty soon but 1st all of the local fox local sewing us their hometowns and this time we visit but the. columbia. unless i'm going to. and i'm cloudy else that might mess with justice and together we'd like to show you our city see bucky that is colombia's salt capital. only someone with a record deal in the cosmos does out to us here at security train station where it is more to us of course you can come here by bus that's but with a little most of it's fall more exciting with the car that the engine comes from

but a ton of it will take you to a peaceful spot with fresh and at least 2 deaths are you putting your foot. there and. if that was enough you have we're now at the plaza de los common errors in the middle of the historical city center houses all around are built on the colonial style typical of the region we think because american. exports like a pedigree and this is that could be a draw you know if you are in 1982 it was declared a national monument why don't you think we do that. i did a lot of that about the past hour delay and n.c.i. you'll find restaurants bars and this reddish carol bellamy 30 guy it's made of just sugar water lemon and a little food coloring made but it has a long tradition in our city if you're an immigrant if you take it back you don't procure that hillary said as well as being made i think it's one of the 1st

handmade products to be produced insecure out today there's even a song and a dance for it includes all you can is a puppet can see what is a white. out up when bad because the bucket african american we are from now you can see was a curious colombian sold cattle so we have a vast deposit at that it's sold was mined as early as the 16th century and this is actually represents the miners who worked in the mine. yeah without my mother like at that i decided. you know everybody exits and that is a tradition in mining and that is to build a chapel for the minus and here it is 180 meters deep underground the famous old cathedral of support here every year it attracts around 600000 visitors from all

and on top of the 1st sentence is delicately sweetener. one of the other horns or there's not a lot of carbonation. a bit more reserved on the palate and so when you swallow the one is gone there's a better nurse that was the flex the model that senator cooper does moscow but it is of the. delicious travelling can be educational even for me tastebuds. unfortunately my visit to munich is over but it was fun and as part of an educational trip i have learned a lot arts culture history all there i have to admit munich's really got something well bye bye see you next time you're on czech and.
